He was a warrior tonight; he gave it everything he had. His body was cramping from the first 10 minutes of the game and he found a way to fight through it. He threw his heart and soul out there for Barton tonight. |
He was all arms and legs. One thing we all saw in him and admired was his desire, and it proved out. He broke in well as a freshman, and that's not always easy to do when you're two feet taller than everyone else. |
He was driving at a safe speed for the conditions, doing approximately 10 mph below the posted speed limit. He wasn't under the influence or anything like that. It appears that the driver didn't do anything wrong. |
He was giving me some space and I felt like he was kind of off balance. I gave him a hesitation and got a step on him. Then he moved into me. Maybe he was trying to take a charge. He came over and knocked me down. |
He was just huge. I was afraid of him. You had a 170-pound guy coming here and he was 220, 225 with these paws like a bear. I was pretty intimidated the first few years. I'm happy he was on my side the whole time. |
He was outstanding tonight. I liked how he was able to take control in the huddle, they responded to that. He's a talented player and is playing better every game as he gets more comfortable with what we're doing. |
He was outstanding. He had the lineup completely off-balance for the entire game. He mixed speeds extremely well and it his spots. We were pretty amazed at how well he handled himself against a team like Southern. |
He was superb here as manager, and any team or country who would have him as a manager would be quite privileged. People talk about his man-management and his motivational skills - but he certainly knows the game. |
He was unbelievable again, you can't say enough about him. He came up huge time and time again and that's what we needed because they're a good offensive team with great speed up front and they're hard to contain. |
He was very willing to step up and give his shot at trying to make this work. That is really comforting that he would do something like that. A lot of guys have even said that they're excited to play hockey again. |
He wasn't playing like he was two years ago, and I didn't see us re-signing him. This was a good opportunity to get a player for the future and someone who can do the job defensively this year and possibly beyond. |
He wasn't this thing that everybody always paints him to be. He wasn't a devil who got with Dave Matthews and changed everything. He's just a dude. He's completely natural. That threw me off and got me so excited. |
He would say an 80-year-old man from Alabama shouldn't tell someone what they can put on paper, ... Some of his decisions would be called liberal and some conservative. What I call him is a strict constructionist. |
He wouldn't let me do that if he'd have died I'd have died with him, he stuck there with me thick and thin, no matter what he was there he was determined to get me out of there he was not going to leave me behind. |
He'll put the ball in play a lot and won't strike out much. He has to learn to be more patient and learn the strikezone better, but that's a tough thing for Latin players to do because they are such free swingers. |
